Last year we had a meet-up lounge where attendees could schedule meet ups with other attendees. This year we want to improve on that process.

The Intent of the "Meet Up"

Meet ups are intended for attendees to get together, to talk to each other, to share ideas in a casual environment. It's not intended to be an opportunity for adding an ad-hoc speaking session. if you are interested in organizing a meet up, we'd love to hear about it!

When are the Meet Ups?

They are Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 5:15 - 6 pm. Jive-sponsored meet ups are planned for Tuesday at this time, while Wednesday is slated for attendee-sponsored meet ups. Since we only have a small number of meeting rooms where meet ups can occur, we'll need to have final approval on which meet ups occur in the meeting rooms on Wednesday. Additional meet ups can happen in the lounge areas around the meet rooms.

If you would like to organize a meet up with other attendees, please comment below with the following information:

Topic of the meet-up (Example: "Discuss tips and tricks for using ideas in your community")

Organizer(s) name(s): @mention your names

Number of anticipated attendees: Make a guess such as 5-10 or 20-30

To be considered to use one of the rooms, you'll need to expect more than 15 people. For meet-ups of less than 15 people, we have lounge areas that we can reserve for you.

Important Details

You'll be totally responsible for pulling together the meet-up agenda and promoting it to get attendees. It will also be listed in the JiveWorld17 mobile app (coming soon). Also, if you are a partner or consultant, we ask that you don't organize a meet up with the sole purpose of selling or advertising your services or products (same rules apply as in our Terms and Conditions).

I'm afraid I don't have the capacity to organise a meet-up, but if anyone is thinking about organising one around mobile (Jive Daily) or community adoption, you can count on me as one of your attendees.

We have added a community meet-up on Wednesday for Ask a Consultant with Claire Fletcher from the Jive Adoption Resource Center. We will have some amazing curated cocktails before we head you off to the final night party!

The Learning and Development group is interested in sponsoring a meet-up for learning and development. Last year's hallway meet-up had about 40 people, so we are expecting a lot more this year with a new L&D track. We also spoke with Heather Kattner yesterday about this as well.

We are also going to use this meet-up as a place for people to come with their questions from our Learning panel discussion, which we are tying in to an online discussion in the Learning and Development group.

Hi Madison, we only have a room available on Wednesday for an External Communities meet up. You can still meet on Tuesday, but it would have to be in one of the hallway lounge areas. I think it's better to have it on a single day, which option would you prefer... the room on Wednesday or the hallway lounge on Tuesday?
